Description

Robert Prosinecki ended his playing career in 2004., but his renowned dribblings,http://traktor.od.ua/freerunning.php, passes and objectives are already part of greatest moments in football history.

I met this football genius about ten years ago, you by no means guess exactly where – in the art gallery! No, he did not become a painter,http://www.502eliquid.com/freerun3size.php, but he opened exhibition of painting as a special guest. Calm and down-to-earth, he gave autographs afterwards and took images with his fans.

If you’re a footy fan you have most likely heard of this legendary midfielder, former member of Croatian national team. Robert Prosinecki was born in 1969. in Germany’s Schwenningen,http://milk-republic.com/coralrunnerofferuk.php, exactly where his parents were working. He came in Croatia at early age and began playing for Dinamo Zagreb, but coach Miroslav Blazevic dismissed him saying his (in)well-known sentence: ‘If this lad becomes a actual football player, I’ll eat my coaching diploma.’

Croatia won third place that year (with striker Davor Suker as Golden Boot winner), but among a lot of Croats there’s a nonetheless regret for what could have occurred if only coach Blazevic did not leave Prosinecki on a bench for the duration of semi-final match against France, which Croatia lost 1:2.

However, the 3rd location in a World Cup will forever remain the crown of his career, but let’s not forget he also won European Cup with Red Star Belgrade in 1991., and played for Spain’s large two clubs,http://www.bosuball.com.au/newnikefree.php, Real Madrid and Barcelona. In Portsmouth, exactly where he played only in season 2001/2002., Robi is even now held as a hero and his nickname was ‘Croatian Magician’.

Who would thought this midfielder would become the only player in World Cup history to score for two different national teams? In Italy 1990., Prosinecki scored one objective for Yugoslavia in a group match against United Arab Emirates. As Yugoslavia fell apart soon right after that, Robi became prominent member of Croatian national team. Eight years later, throughout FIFA World Cup finals in France he scored two objectives, in a group match against Jamaica and inside the third place match against the Netherlands. The second goal included his famous approach, that fooled opponent players fully.

I’m not positive if his diploma still remained in 1 piece, but Prosinecki then signed for Red Star Belgrade and produced his debut in young national team of Yugoslavia. In reality, in 1987. Robi or Zuti (‘the yellow one’,http://ageismodern.com/coralfreerunning.php, on account of his blonde hair) came to the world’s attention in the Globe Youth Championship in Chile exactly where he was named player of the tournament!
